Former Clothes ("Baglashim")

View through Europeana Collections
In the words of the artist: "Five thoughts about the definition of jewelry pieces and clothes: what makes a jewelry piece a jewel, or a clothing article a garment? The 'former clothes' are a batch of used clothes and jewelry pieces that seem to raise existential questions, to ponder and struggle about their split and incomplete identities and to reflect about their essence. In their search for meaning, they seek their personal truths: What is their raison d'être ? What were they made for? And finally, what is the true meaning of becoming a jewel or a garment? "
